Simon and his German Shepherd dog, Riley, have always been like two peas in a pod. And when you came into the picture, two peas became three.

Riley was almost like the baby of the family in your relationship. You both loved her dearly, and in return, she was your furry and loyal best friend.

But recently, she had been acting quite strange.

Whenever Simon messed around with you playfully, Riley would become quite defensive of you, something she wouldn't normally do. She had also become quite clingy towards you and would sniff you more than usual.

Today was no different. You were currently doing some chores around your flat that you shared with Simon whilst he was at work, and Riley had been almost attached to your hip the whole time.

Unbeknownst to both you and Simon, Riley knew about a little something that had happened that the two of you didn't. She knew about a little something that's going to make your family a little bit bigger.
